These days we can expect to live longer. However, whilst the older generation can, on the whole, look forward to longer years of good health than before, three-quarters of people aged 65 and over report living with a major illness. As we age we are more susceptible to a host of illnesses, some of the most common including arthritis, Alzheimer's Disease and other dementia, osteoporosis, strokes and other cardiac conditions. But help is on hand for all trying to give their loved ones as active, happy and healthy a lifestyle as possible in later life.
